Thanks, Jawanker,
Actually I hired immigration lawyers here to handle that.
It cost a few G's, but five years later I'm now a Tico, I got permanent residency.
A friend of mine mocked me for blowing a wad on all that, he did it himself but went through hell and frustration and aggravation and uncertainty the entire time, and he had to do some documents over a second time because he screwed up the first time
.
I told him I don't pay people to do what I can do, I reviewed all of what was needed and it didn't seem all that difficult, but Costa Rica and Ticos are. I pay people to put up with the bs and aggravation for me...
Even though I'm retired, I still work part time in my field I was in before retiring, on the computer at night. I rarely go out past 7 pm these days, anyway, plenty of mischief to get into in the day time and lower chance of being mugged...
When he told me the hours he put in and the stories of non stop screwing up, confusion and idiocy, I calculated I made more for the same hours (and how do you put a price on enduring non stop frustrating and annoying nonsense?) than I would have saved doing it, and I was doing things I know and know the outcomes and when they'll outcome...
She did, however, since I had been in the USA several months since my last visit, take care of my "Incel" problem...
